It's here and it's tradition! We did this back in 2020 when Evermore was released and we still love listening back to that episode, so here is our deep dive into Midnights, the brand new album by Taylor Swift. We talk about our favourite T Swift albums of all time, the best songs on Midnights, and try to decode some of the cryptic lines in the twenty (TWENTY!!) tracks. Which song is your favourite so far?

We can't believe we've reached the end of season two already! In our final episode we stuck to our roots and did what we do best...rambled on for just under an hour. We talked advent calendars and the beginning of the festive season (Christmas hot drinks anyone?), Ciara's new job and a four day working week, and predicted the Bake Off finalists. Since we'll be disappearing for a few weeks now to prep for season three, we finished the episode with a list of book, TV, and podcast...

In this episode we talked about knowing when to leave careers or hobbies that don't serve you anymore, taking risks and Jess' experience of moving across the world to Qatar. Jess is a great example of having the courage to try new adventures, and loving your life for it - we all need a bit of that inspo! We hope you love this one as...

The weekly round up is a fun one this week! From rooftop breakfasts looking out over London to a Love Island debate, as usual we could not stop chatting.
